Banh Khot is very similar to Banh Xeo (Vietnamese sizzling crepes). Both are wrapped in leafy greens and dipped in a sweet chili sauce. However, Banh Khot is much smaller and thicker than Banh Xeo. If I have to choose between the two, it's Banh Khot. Who doesn't love food in bite-sized form? Plus, it's so much fun to say.
